Video: Crowds Gather For Paris March

By Ian Woods, Senior Correspondent, in Paris

Paris is on high alert as world leaders converge on the city for a march expected to draw millions of people in a demonstration of national unity.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls predicted the huge turnout to honour the 17 people killed in attacks on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a kosher supermarket and the police.

He told thousands gathered near the scene of the deadly supermarket siege on Saturday: "I have no doubt that millions of citizens will come to express their love of liberty, their love of fraternity."

As the crowds started to gather, French President Francois Hollande said: "Today, Paris is the capital of the world."
